Uncle Jin's eyes were fixed on Chu Ge, secretly pondering what trick Chu Ge might still play. Though he couldn't figure it out, he just felt uneasy in his heart.
Throughout Chu Ge's arrival here, Uncle Jin had seen it all. Would such a brave and resourceful Chu Ge really just give up resistance like that?
While Uncle Jin was mulling things over, Chu Ge smiled at Mu Xiaoting, "Tingting, co on."
"No... no... I don't want to..."
Mu Xiaoting was in tears, shaking her head vigorously, wanting to retreat, but unfortunately, she was being controlled by a man in a helt with no way to escape.
Chu Ge rolled his eyes and beckoned with his finger to Mu Xiaoting, "I told you to co over, just push down, and you'll be free. Haven't you always been displeased with ? What are you hesitating for?"
Mu Xiaoting still shook her head vigorously, "No... I... I can't, I can't..."
Chu Ge impatiently frowned, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Damn you, if you won't co over and push , do you want to die at the hands of these people? You may not be annoyed with , but I'm annoyed with you. Don't make look down on you even in the end, so get over here!"
Yelled at by Chu Ge like that, Mu Xiaoting shivered and stood frozen on the spot.
Yes, if she doesn't act, Chu Ge might die even more miserably, and... didn't Mu Lingshan say? Chu Ge is always a miraculous person, could it be that even now, she and Chu Ge have not completely fallen into despair?
Could it be that the reason Chu Ge called her over to act was because he still had a plan to escape with her?
Chu Ge's legs were already tied to a stone, but could he create a miracle with just his hands?
"Hahaha! Brilliant, truly brilliant, I've really seen a good show today! Little girl, why are you still standing there? Go on, personally push him down, then I'll give you freedom, quickly go on?"
"The way you wet yourself is indeed quite spectacular, haha..."
Li Zheming laughed sinisterly, stopping abruptly only when Chu Ge's voice reached his ears, causing his face to flush with a mix of anger and humiliation. He quickly turned his gaze toward Chu Ge.
Chu Ge lazily looked at Li Zheming, raising his hand to point at his crotch, "That stench is still there, and don't say it's just rainwater on your pants. I'm just puzzled, don't you find it uncomfortable down there?"
Facing Chu Ge's mockery, the viciousness in Li Zheming's eyes gradually faded. He curled his lips, slowly walked over to Mu Xiaoting, patted the helted man controlling her, and then gave the still-stunned Mu Xiaoting a forceful push.
"If you want to live, go and kill him!"
"Thud"
Mu Xiaoting fell heavily to the ground, her palms and knees instantly scraped. Tears stread down her face, not from the pain of hitting the hard ground, but from sadness, doubt, anxiety, tension... a torrent of emotions surged into her heart.
Growing up, Mu Xiaoting had never faced such a difficult choice. She couldn't see anything clearly in front of her, didn't know if following Chu Ge's words would lead to a turnaround or a bottomless pit for both herself and Chu Ge.
"Tingting, co here, listen..."
This was Chu Ge's voice.
"Little girl, hurry over, end this man who saved you, who was manipulated by all the way here, haha..."
This was Li Zheming's voice.
Mu Xiaoting wiped her face of tears and rainwater with force, tightly clenched her powerless fists, and slowly stood up from the ground.
Oh well, wrong or right, it doesn't matter anymore...
A few seconds passed, Mu Xiaoting gritted her teeth hard, mustered her courage, and with almost all her strength, took a step forward.
"Wait!" This was Uncle Jin's voice.
Chu Ge frowned, Mu Xiaoting paused her steps, and the first to speak up was the onlooker Li Zheming, who perplexedly asked, "Uncle Jin? What's up?"
Uncle Jin glanced heavily at Chu Ge, then turned his head and instructed a helted man, "Bring so more ropes over and tie his hands up as well."
Li Zheming raised his hand to rub his forehead, looking at Uncle Jin with speechless indignation and indifference.
"Uncle Jin, aren't you just a spoilsport? Letting his hands move freely, what's so interesting about that? Just imagine him struggling in vain, his hands frantically waving, yet having no effect, with his body continuously sinking—ah, isn't that just wonderful?"
Uncle Jin squinted his eyes, "Li Zheming, are you ordering ?"
Seeing the sudden cold gleam in Uncle Jin's eyes and hearing his icy voice, Li Zheming was suddenly stunned, then awkwardly shook his head, "Uncle Jin, I didn't an that, I just..."
"As long as you don't an it that way." Uncle Jin interrupted Li Zheming and looked at the helted man standing in place, "Go!"
The helted man imdiately responded and went to find a length of rope. He cautiously approached Chu Ge again, tied his hands behind his back, and tugged to ensure it was secure, then looked at Uncle Jin for confirmation.
Uncle Jin nodded, finally feeling completely at ease. With both hands and feet tied and a heavy Stone on his back, even if Chu Ge had supernatural abilities, he was undoubtedly dood!
While Uncle Jin felt relieved, Mu Xiaoting's heart sank completely. Chu Ge's hands were her last hope, but now even this hope was completely shattered.
Like Uncle Jin, she couldn't think of any possibility of Chu Ge surviving.
"Now, are you all reassured?"
Chu Ge's voice reached everyone's ears again. Mu Xiaoting looked up and saw no sign of loss or sadness, only disdain, sarcasm, boundless spirit, and readiness to face death on his face.
Uncle Jin smiled faintly, "This rain is really heavy. I suppose the air will be very fresh after it stops? It's almost dawn. If the rain stops by then, watching the sunrise here must be a beautiful scene."
Chu Ge laughed, tilted his head, and looked at Uncle Jin with slanted eyes, "Old man, I didn't realize you had such an artistic side."
Uncle Jin smiled more confidently, "That's not the point. I just wanted to say, no matter how fresh the air is after the rain, you still won't breathe it. No matter how beautiful the sunrise is, you won't see it. Soon, you will say a final goodbye to this world."
"Haha, that's truly unfortunate..." Chu Ge looked up at the overcast, rainy sky, murmured to himself, then turned his gaze to the hopeless, desolate Mu Xiaoting.
"Hey, silly girl, how much longer are you going to daze out? These bastards have no more demands from you, aren't you coming over to see off?"
"Chu Ge... I..."
Impatiently, Chu Ge looked at Mu Xiaoting, "What 'I'? Why am I growing increasingly annoyed with you? Silly girl, can you just make it quick? Give a release, don't let continue suffering here."
"Aweso! Hahaha, ready to die, huh? Today I truly learned sothing new!"
Watching this scene, Li Zheming laughs with a sinister grin, clapping sardonically.
"Chu Ge, I must say, you are a decent opponent." Uncle Jin showed a sighing expression, his eyes finally showing complete relaxation.
"Silly girl, co on over, be good."
Mu Xiaoting couldn't quite hear the different voices around her; her head buzzed with confusion, and the world spun around her. Yet at this mont, she had no choice!
Finally, Mu Xiaoting started walking again, her body trembling uncontrollably, her steps extrely slow. She never knew, a journey of just a few ters could feel so infinitely long.
"Silly girl, that's the spirit. Don't feel pressured, co on, co..."
Chu Ge's voice was inexplicably soft and gentle, as if guiding a toddler learning to walk, full of patience. But for Mu Xiaoting, it was unbearably sad, her chest felt like it would explode from the pressure.
Even though Mu Xiaoting walked so slowly, on this rainy night the only sounds were Chu Ge's voice and her footsteps.
Initially, Li Zheming's sinister laughter echoed in the air, but for so reason, Chu Ge's voice seed to have a magical power, making his laughter feel out of place with everything around. He even felt like a foolish clown craving attention, and gradually, he couldn't help but stop laughing.
Neither Li Zheming, Uncle Jin, nor the other helted n made any hasty remarks or interruptions.
Three ters... two ters... one ter.
Finally, Mu Xiaoting reached Chu Ge's side, slowly lifting her severely trembling hands.
"Silly girl."
Suddenly, Chu Ge spoke two words again. Mu Xiaoting's hands paused in mid-air, she bit her lip tightly, choking as she said, "Chu Ge..."
Chu Ge smiled softly, "Silly girl, for the very end, can you shake hands with ?"
Mu Xiaoting's tears flowed more fiercely, "I..."
Chu Ge grinned, "Don't worry, I an nothing else by it. Although you annoy , you're at least a beauty. Before dying, shaking hands with a beauty could at least be a consolation prize, right? Although... I don't really like your hand shape, but I guess I have no choice, haha!"
Seeing Mu Xiaoting not moving, Chu Ge chuckled again, "I say, silly girl, you can't be that stingy, right? It's not my fault your hands aren't pretty. Besides, I was just jok—"
Before Chu Ge finished speaking, Mu Xiaoting suddenly leaned down and gripped Chu Ge's hand tightly, very tightly.
